CopyCat Del Taco Chicken Tacos

Living in Arizona for 13 years of my adolescent life I grew up loving Del Taco. My parents would get take out there often. My sister, Michelle, that was her favorite taco out. If we did take out one night, Michelle always wanted Del Taco over anything else. She loves the chicken tacos. Now that I live in Ohio, Del Taco is not really out here. I have found 1 or 2 but they are some distance away from us. So, I decided to try and make that for my Sunday Family Movie night pick. Tonight, is my pick and I drew Mexican food so why not give it a try.  Marinade: 3 Large Chicken (I used thin chicken breast), diced 1 Lime, juiced 1 tbsp Taco Seasoning  1 tbsp Soy Sauce 1 tsp Garlic Powder 1 tsp Onion Powder 1 tsp Chicken Bouillon Powder 1/4 tsp Paprika Place all ingredients above into a ziplock, shake well and marinade for 30 minutes to an hour. I found the longer the better flavor.  White Sauce: 1 cup Mayo 1 Lime, juiced Whisk together in a bowl until smooth, set aside until ready for assembly.

Steak Fried Rice


2 Cups Rice
2 lb. Steak (or Stew Meat, cut thinly)
1 tbsp Garlic Powder
1 tbsp Onion Powder
2 pkgs Stir Fry Blend (Thai & Chinese)
2 Pasture Raised Eggs, room temp
4 tbsp Butter, unsalted
Soy Sauce
Oil for cooking steak
Salt & Pepper, to taste


Directions:



1. Start by bringing water to a boil, and your skillet (or wok) to heat; put on medium high heat and oil. 

2. Cut steak to bite size pieces, season steak and place in your hot pan; you should hear a nice sear when steak hits pan. Add soy sauce to pan while cooking. Cook 5-6 minutes or until desired done-ness.
3. Once water is boiling add rice in and cook according to package (all rice is different, mine cooks 10 minutes only). Drain and set aside.
4. Once steak is done, place on a clean plate and set aside. Place butter in pan and melt; place your stir fry blend in pan and season. Cook until done.
5. Again, remove stir fry blend, set aside
6. Add rice to your hot pan, soy sauce and butter fry for 1-2 minutes, stirring. Add in your stir fry blend, season, and cook. Then stir in steak, soy sauce and allow to heat for 5 minutes. 
7. Make a "well" in the middle of the pan; whisk eggs, and place eggs in the middle, scramble eggs.
8. Once egg are half way scrambled, stir them through the rice and continue to cook another 5 minutes. 

*I triple sometimes 4 times the recipe because this goes fast and we love leftovers.
